Les Isaac, Street Pastors and fellow friends and supporters of Ascension Trust become everyday heros to raise funds to help meet the practical needs of local communities.

With reference to Street Pastors, Ram Gidoomal says “I pay tribute to each and every one of you in this movement. You leave a legacy of excellence and a fine ethos and tradition for generations to come.”

Patron of Ascension Trust

“Street Pastors is about Christians rolling up their sleeves and getting involved in practically responding to the problems of crime and safety. They are like beacons on our streets and I want to see them shining brightly in every constituency.”

Mission Highlight

Street Pastors was pioneered in the UK in 2003 by Les Isaac. On that first night, 18 volunteers took to the streets of Brixton, London, and since then this initiative has grown to encompass a network of volunteers who engage with people on the streets to care for them, listen to them and help them.
